Super High Contrast Black and White Images
written by altprocess on 2009-03-07 #gear #tutorials
Ever wondered how photographers like Edward Weston were able to get super high contrast b&w prints? It wasn't all in the printing, it wasn't all in the negative, and it wasn't all in the camera. You need all three and a wee bit of mathematics.

Darkroom Effects / What Is the Original Image?
written by floriansimon on 2011-04-14 #gear #tutorials
The possibilities in a dark room are as unbelievable as they are endless. Although many people argue about "The Original Image", they mostly don't know about possible image manipulations within a dark room. However, I think that scans should be as honest as possible and they should not be enhanced by digital color filters. Be honest.

DIY Lith Printing
written by lovely_lena on 2008-12-29 #gear #tutorials
From time to time we are presented here at LSI with different ways of manipulating film; by peeing on it, scratching it, boiling it while putting our health at stake... but I don't think I have seen a single lab rat tips on things you can du to your prints. Most of us apparently have our own darkroom, since we can develop our own color/slide film after having peed on it, so why not show some printing tricks.

Processing Color Reversal Film into Slides with E6 Chemistry
written by asharnanae on 2013-11-02 #gear #tutorials
I have long developed my own B&W and color negative films at home but I had never tried out E6 slide development before. I found that it is generally very similar to other developing processes, although you do have to be a little bit more precise. This is just a basic guide as you can get very technical with these chemicals in terms of altering color shifts and pushing and pulling stops.
